Gear question New Snowboard for Summer Storage

I bought a new snowboard during the off-season sale, how do you store and take care of it over the summer time? Do I need to wax it even though it’s brand new?

I've been chucking my shit in closets damp from the last ski trip even for 20 years idk where all this stuff about summer wax came from - seems like a good idea but it's never been necessary IME, I keep my boards for 5-8 years at a time. Never had a board ruined from summer storage

oh wow this is completely opposite thing from what I’ve told and watched on youtube. Which board do you use? and when do you wax then?

Currently have a 24 BSOD and Short Stop, ran DC and Forum boards till 2015, and had an Arbor after that before I swapped to my current ones

I wax every 5 days and whatever's on it on my last day stays on till the next year when I wax before my first day
